The Grande Complication is one of IWC's most exclusive timepieces with a production limited to just 50 watches.

The minute repeating chime is of excellent quality, as the sapphire crystal has been freely suspended on a platinum membrane, amplifying the gong vibrations via the sound transmission pin.

The present watch is offered here in overall exceptional condition.
